Yep - I need to update pointer's help file to mention text items in
scalars - meanwhile the magic is described in the [text] help file. But
there's a bug report out already (don't hit the '0' message :)
I'm planning to make a way for the 'pointer' object to delete individual
scalars but can't decide yet between two possible ways of doing it :)

The only way to detect and delete these orphan scalars would be by editing the patch file in a text editor.
